EGG-BEATER.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 30,053, dated September 18, 1860.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, H. F. DROTT, of Gumberland, in the county ofAllegany and State of Maryland, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Egg- Beaters; and I do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact descripw tion of the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings and to the letters ot reference markedthereon.

In the annexed drawings making a part of this specification, Figure lrepresents a vertical section. Fig. 2 is a perspective of the topportion of the beater.

In the figures A represents an ordinary tin cup, provided with a handleB. This cup is made in the usual manner and may be made of any desiredsize. I deem a quart cup, large enough for family use generally.

C, represents a top which is made to it snugly upon the cup A, so thatthe egg or any fluid in the cup, will not be able to leak out.

D, represents a gauze wire partition which is secured to the top, C, bymeans of thin strips of metal marked E, E. The distance at which thiswire partition is secured from the top C, depends upon the depth of thecup to be used.. It the cup is six inches deep, the partition is securedthree inches from the top. The partition is always intended to beextended down to about the center or midway of the cup when the top isplaced on in proper position for use. The openings in the gauze shouldbe about -lof an inch. In using this cup for beating eggs, the eggs arelirst broken and poured in to the cup A, the top C, is then pressed ontightly as seen in Fig. l, and a backward and forward endwise motion isgiven to the cup, the motion being sufficiently violent to force theeggs through the gauze wire which cuts them up at every passage through,until they become exceedingly light. Thirty seconds of violent agitationin this way is amply sntiicient in many cases-and in one minute eggs maybe made as light by this process as by any other now known.

That I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is-The employment of the gauze wire partition D, in connection with the cupA, and close itting .cover C, the eggs being forced or driven throughthe partition substantially as and for the purpose herein specified.
